It’s been a while…

IMG_7470

It’s been a long while since I’ve blogged or let alone had the courage to actually come to terms with whether I wanted to continue blogging or not. I haven’t felt passionate about blogging in a while. To be completely honest I haven’t even missed blogging during these last two months.

I’m a writer and I’ve always loved writing. However, for the last few months every time I tried writing I immediately started doubting myself. I just couldn’t do it. I knew that I was a good writer but I kept doubting that I was actually good at it. That left me frustrated, angry, and confused.

I hadn’t told anyone this until one day my cousins and I were talking in our group chat. I wasn’t having a good day, so I just spilled the beans on everything that I was dealing with. In this very moment I was broken and had no idea why God was allowing me to go through this. My cousins poured encouragement into me and I immediately began to feel better. They promised me that I was not in this alone because they too had once experienced this.

As of right now I am in the process of getting my groove back! YASSSSSSS! I am taking it one day at a time and allowing myself to be okay with not having it all together right now. I’m a planner and I put time limits on different things that I want to do with my life. So when I hit this roadblock to me it felt like everything was messed up.

Last week I was listening to Joel Osteen and one thing that he said that stuck with me was that you can’t put time limits on what God has planned for you. CONVICTION. From that moment on I became okay with not knowing exactly where God is taking me. The beauty in this is that I am finding out who I truly am. I’m realizing that God puts you in certain situations sometimes to get your attention. I know for a fact that He is allowing me to go through this, because MY greater is on the way. I’m trusting my journey and His plan for me. When you trust Him in spite of your situations or circumstances He rewards you in the most amazing way.

As for blogging there won’t be a consistent schedule for new posts. I’m only going to blog when I feel led to do so. I might not be blogging as frequently as I used to, but just know that I ain’t going anywhere!

Also, feel free to follow me on Instagram because I share a lot up there! I am ALL the way present over there!

Remember to live in the moment and trust that everything is going to happen in its perfect timing.

That’s all for now. I promise that I’ll talk to ya’ll soon!

    I can totally relate to this. I felt the same way last year because I started to doubt that I was really making a difference in this over saturated blogosphere. But rest assured the devil will try to discourage you when he knows you’re destined for greatness. Do not let him interfere with your purpose girlfriend. Stay focused. Stay motivated. Stay prayerful and keep believing that a prosperous future is inevitable because God promised you so. (Jer 29:11)
